RightOnTrek Next-Generation Backcountry Meals review – for the hungry trekker!

REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and  “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire). What

worx portableairinflatorpump review 6

REVIEW – There’s not a lot worse than having to pay for air to inflate the tires on your car or bike. Not to mention finding a place that has an air pump these days. I own a portable inflator, it is nice, but it needs to be plugged into your car’s 12V outlet. That

Ender3MaxNeo Rev 001

REVIEW – After getting bit by the 3D printing bug a few years back the desire to print larger, more complex items quickly followed. Unfortunately, the price of large format 3D printers runs pretty high, with some models costing well into the thousands. But, since I’m only interested in printing items slightly larger than possible

AGM H5 Pro smartphone review – a rugged phone that delivers great performance

AMGH5 17

REVIEW –  I’ll admit I’m a bit of a phone diva.  I get suckered into the latest and greatest phone with shocking regularity, even though at this point I think we can all admit that innovation between models is marginal and the prices of flagship phones are ridiculous.  With that in mind, I was curious

cyrusher xf800 2
